Inside A Silly Symphony, Part 1

This week on Film Score Focus we're taking starting our first of two journies deep inside a Silly Symphony. What's a Silly Symphony? You remember, they're the short animated films that Walt Disney produced and directed before they started getting into feature film animation. These beloved short films started the careers of many Disney salwarts including one of the greatest American composers of all time, Carl Stalling who went on to compose the music for Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoons. There is so much genius in these shorts that we couldn't possibly do it justice in just one night, so we're going to try two.
